I have tried to mount the sd"x" and sg"x" and got "no medium found". Hope there is a fix. Thanks. EDIT: Special Offers enabled Last edited by keroro430; 07-05-2016 at 09:24 AM. |

Thanks for the report - I'll edit in a warning at the top of the directions.

Context : I've followed the tutorial as written, and the kindle react like travak. My Kindle is passcode locked, so the USB isn't avaliable I think and I can only view it few seconds. But, all is like the "normal" failure. The Kindle isn't with "Special Offers". And for the filename, it's ok. I can run Linux if you want, but I'm not very familiar with. |

Why? Because it responds a lot faster to USB changes and allows the user access at a lower level. Why not a VM? That just adds another layer of delay. We only have a few seconds to push a file onto the Kindle, it will probably have to be done in expect/send loop. Or maybe even in a custom u-dev rule. |

I would suggest more warnings on potentially bricking your device and also add a step to factory reset before downgrading.

A factory reset would clear the visible and hidden ares of the Kindle, including the user's books and collections. That might be a draw-back to some. And I am not sure that it would clear the 'needs repair' counter or do anything else useful. |

Take a break,
It is past my lunch time and I haven't had breakfast yet. Pushing a file onto a reluctant Kindle is pretty straight forward, perhaps someone else on this forum can guide you while I take a break. Even if no immediate response - You are not forgotten about. |

@knc1/@BD: A factory reset might indeed be a good idea, yeah. (It does clear the YKNR counters, FWIW).
EDIT: Then there are the DB schema issues, which may very well be at the root of those failures... @SteveJordan: You can start by monitoring dmesg in a shell while the device boots (plugged in to the computer, of course ). That should hopefully give us an idea of what exactly is being exported, if anything. Last edited by NiLuJe; 07-05-2016 at 01:39 PM. |

"DB schema issues" : damn good point.
I'll add another section on recommendations once I feed myself. |

Yeah, a good night's sleep does wonders for your thought process .

Is just one image file for all PW3 versions? Just to be sure.
